Default Gia 714

I just happened to be driving under the flight path to 16 left today at around 10am and noticed that a Grauda flight suddenly climbed out of its approach. Webtrack also confirms this. Just curious if anyone knows why?

Pat, looking at Webtrack there are two possible reasons:

(1) A GA aircraft landed on RWY 25 around the same time that the Garuda was say 45 secs away from touchdown. So possibly the GA aircraft might have facilitated the GIA714 go-around from 16R. However, I'm guessing the GA aircraft was small and therefore probably would have been able to pull up well short of the 16R/28 intersection, so I doubt this was the reason.

(2) Just prior to the GIA714 passing over the 16R threshold, an ANZ832 (A320) can be seen just departing 16R. So I'm guessing the ANZ 320 was a little slow to roll, or equally the GIA A333 was a little quick getting in, so the controller sent them around.

To see the above I mentioned, replay the run at 10:02 AM and it should all make sense.

Cheers
